"Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, have you become the best of your mother after all?"

The answer is a resounding “YES!” when you take the journey of finding the gifts of her life—the 16 values author Dee Dee Raap shares in her new book, Find Your Pink Flamingos: Celebrating the Gifts of a Mom.

A flock of plastic pink flamingos on the prairie farm embarrassed Dee Dee as a child. Understanding her mother’s unique yard decorations led to finding hidden values of humor and hospitality, a journey she shared in her first book, Dear Mom: Remembering, Celebrating, Healing.

Now Dee Dee shares a deeper journey of finding the best “gifts” of 16 values of a mother’s life, and reveals their hiding places:

Mom’s words: Remember the phrases you heard over and over? “Count your blessings.” “There’s a silver lining in every cloud.” “Close the door! Were you born in a barn?”

Mom’s actions: Remember the things your mom did with her hands to make your life wonderful? Cooking, cleaning and baking brownies late at night because you forgot you needed them for school the next day?

Find Your Pink Flamingos is a beautiful, heartfelt book filled with stories to help you discover, practice and share the values of your mother’s life. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry as you celebrate the best gifts of your mother’s life—the values that make your life wonderful. Don’t wait! Take the journey and become the best of your mom today!
